The Ricky Gervais Show Season 3 Preview: Karl's Threshold For Pain

HBO’s set to start rolling out the comedies this month, with Girls on the way, and Veep also on deck to debut. And then there’s The Ricky Gervais Show, which makes its grand return for Season 3 on April 20. The series features the voices of Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington as they discuss various topics and joke, largely at Karl’s expense, while animated videos paint a vivid picture of their discussion.

Earlier this month, we shared the art-inspired poster for Season 3 of the animated series, along with two clips, one of which had Karl discussing his thoughts on charity. The latest clip has Karl boasting about his threshold for pain, which he may have learned in a dungeon somewhere... or a spa.

What exactly did they do to him?

The Ricky Gervais Show returns for Season 3 on Friday, September 20 at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO.
